Silent Tears

Silent Tears...

as the family goes out to play

Silent Tears...

when friends don't want to stay

Silent Tears...

when father hits and mother yells

Silent Tears...

I want to run.

I want to hide.

I want to scream 'til my throat is dry.

I want to die.

But these things are not allowed.

So I'll sit in my chair, and let the silent tears fall down.
